Food Magic Daily 1 5 Monday, July 16, 2018 New Induction Cooktop from Panasonic Provides Optimal Cooking Control One of the new and most important fea- tures of Panasonic's new Met-ALL Induction Cooktop (KY-MK3500) is the IR sensors embedded beneath the cook- top's glass surface. While IR sensors are nothing new for induction cooking, these sensors bring something entirely new to the table. By more accurately reading the temperature of the cookware's interior rather than exterior, they provide the user with far greater control of cooking heat and any adjustments that need to be made. This groundbreaking technology from Panasonic gives chefs an incredible level of precision. Additionally, the new Met-ALL Induction Cooktop can automatically adjust its temperature output for certain foods, using the cooktop's memory fea- ture. Different food items can be pro- grammed into the cooktop, which will then prepare the food depending on its individual specifications. The IR sensors can even detect if additional items have been added to the cooking vessel, and adjust accordingly to maintain optimal cooking performance. Another exciting facet of these new IR sen- sors is their ability to detect how much food is in the cooking vessel, and thus how much tempera- ture needs to be distrib- uted across the cook- ware's surface. This allows for even cooking at exactly the same temperature for the entirety of the pot or pan. Instead of a flame that only provides heat at the center of a cooking vessel, Panasonic's Met-ALL Induction Cooktop heats up the whole surface, pro- viding consistent cooking for all of the food being prepared. Chefs looking to recreate the same dish time and time again can look to this dependable cooktop for reliability in cook- ing performance. The new IR sensors com- bined with the memo- ry feature provide an ease of use that will make chefs much more comfortable while preparing multiple dishes at the same time.

Cambro's New ProCart Ultra – The Ultimate Holding Cart for Any Operation Chefs have one of the most practical and rewarding professions in the world – ful- filling man's most basic need for nourish- ment and survival – yet they also have one of the most challenging and demand- ing, high-stress professions in the world. Whether they are a caterer or an execu- tive chef at a hotel, in charge of universi- ty dining services or a corporate cafete- ria, every one of these foodservice oper- ators all share one common desire: to have the right equipment that will get them through any curve ball that may come their way. We all know that when it comes to foodservice, curve balls will indeed be coming, or rather whizzing by, from all corners of the field. It's not uncommon for the kitchen to be producing a variety of hot hors d'oeu- vres, chilled salads and hot entrees for one event, then switching over to cater to a dessert buffet, then going offsite to host a company barbecue complete with ribs, potato salad and all the fixins. What's the best way to hold and transport all this food safely? Hot holding carts and cool- ers, of course, you are thinking. How else would one accommodate all of the differ- ent temperatures that are needed? With Cambro's latest insulated transport cart, the operator now has the ultimate flexi- bility to hold hot and cold products, in the same cart, simultaneously. With its dual compartments, the ProCart Ultra™ allows the operator to custom build the cart with variations of hot, cold or passive holding in either top or bottom compartment positions. Furthermore, additional hot or cold thermal modules can be purchased to reconfigure the current cart to suit the demands at hand. Have a hot/cold cart but need to have both as cold for your dessert buffet? Simply unscrew the hot module from the body and screw on a cold module. After the event, convert it back into a hot/cold cart for your regular operation. The ProCart Ultra is flexible with its holding ability as well – adjustable stainless steel rails hold a variety of GN food pans, sheet pans, trays and pizza boxes. Busy chefs are sure to love its quick close magnetic door and durable nylon latches, which secure the contents for transport. The cart also fea- tures a 5-inch by 8-inch menu pocket for identification or routing information, and comes standard with heavy duty casters. (Quiet, easy-rolling casters are also avail- able for discerning environments such as hospitals, and down corporate corridors where super silence For more information, go to www .cambro.com. The Scoop on Freshly Made Ice Cream Chefs are always looking to create new and exciting dessert menus with fresh, unusual ingredients. Crafting color, adding texture, contrasting temperatures, pairing unexpected flavors or creating a dramatic focal point is easy with ice cream that you make right in your kitchen. Anyone can serve the basics like apple pie a la mode. How about serving up a slice of red velvet cake with home- made cream cheese ice cream instead? Turn traditional PB&J on its head with Concord grape pie and peanut butter ice cream, or celebrate the season with a pumpkin spice ice cream and lemon chess pie combo. The Right Size Waring recently launched a 2-quart com- pressor ice cream maker, ideal for chefs looking to explore their creativity and expand their offerings. The size makes it exceptionally cost effective for a restau- rant that wants a variety of ice cream fla- vors in smaller quantities, and it's also perfect for food trucks and catering ven- ues that want to make their frozen treats on site. Perfect Timing There are so many ways this ice cream maker saves time and effort. The built-in compressor means no pre-freezing, while the quick processing time lets you whip up batches of ice cream, frozen yogurt or gelato back to back with no waiting. Mix It Up The mixing paddles incor- porate just the right amount of air for a smooth, creamy consistency that will delight your patrons. The mix-in lid makes it easy to add extra ingredients without interrupting the process. Keep It Cool Part of the secret to ice cream success is keeping and serving it at the ideal tem- perature. The Waring "Keep Cool" fea- ture holds ice cream at the optimal tem- perature when the process is finished, which is critical for maximum flavor and consistency. Remember that moving large ice cream con- tainers back and forth between serving freezers and storage freezers ultimately diminishes its appeal – your smaller ice cream batches will always be fresh. Easy Cleanup When it's time to clean up, just pop the paddle and lid into the dishwasher and wipe down the outside of the unit. With the Waring 2-Quart Compressor Ice Cream Maker, the only limit is your imagination. For more information, go to www .waringproducts.com.
